Cheekily Misspelled Product Names

Is it just me, or do other people get pissed off by deliberately misspelled product names? It's like they're TRYING to make people illiterate, or pander to people who are too dumb to spell it in the first place. "Hey, we're stupid, just like you!" or "Hey, we're even dumber than you!" Some examples of products I've seen with misspelled names are "Rice Krispies" (though that's not as bad for me because I grew up with them), "Double Stuf Oreos," and "Reddi-Bilt" barbeques. The barbecues are the worst, since they're completely misspelled and I had to walk by them every day at work, and they were glaringly obvious. Put me in a bad mood all day. If I was Prime Minister, I'd make a law against such misspelling.
